Highlands Festival at Waterloo

An environmental festival celebrating local food, music, art, history, culture and natural resources of New Jersey.

This rain-or-shine event will delight people of all ages and feature a wide range of activities including: performances all weekend by musicians with ties to New Jersey and our greater local area, savoring Jersey Fresh foods and festival favorites, relaxing in the beer garden, shopping at craft vendor booths, participating in workshops, taking nature walks, kayaking along the river, exploring the past on historical tours, enjoying the children's corner, watching animal demos, perusing art exhibits, even camping overnight if you wish!

Zero Waste

In keeping true to our mission, we will strive to reduce the amount of materials going into the waste stream as we strive towards zero festival waste.

At the festival, you will notice “Zero Waste” stations where recyclables and compostables are collected separately from trash. To make sorting easier, vendors will provide food in compostable or recyclable service ware. When visiting our festival, please be sure to look for these stations to handle your waste.
